This rental worked out well for us. It has old-time OC charm without the busyness of being downtown. Also nicely updated with the beach only steps away. We could easily come and go throughout the day with young grandchildren. The view from this condo is mostly dunes, very pretty, with the ocean peeking through in the background. We found the condo clean, comfortable, and pretty. The sofa is great. But the sofa bed isn’t the best for sleeping. An additional bed with trundle, in the bunk room, would be nice. There is no dishwasher, as the other reviewer noted. I knew that going in and we kept things simple. But the kitchen does have ample utensils and pots and pans, and nice appliances. The coffee maker is a Keurig, so bring K-cups. Other things to bring: your own sugar, some garbage bags, decent paper towels and toilet paper, oven mitts and dish towels, bath towels, sheets, dish soap, and toiletries as the guest package provided included only minimal provisions. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, and two grocery stores as well as miniature golf and ice cream. Also an easy walk to Northside Park with playground, pond, and boardwalk out on the bay for beautiful sunsets.
